As my children's teacher, I absolutely LOVE when I can combine subjects. For example, the youngest is learning about the five animal groups in science. To be sure she has the groups down, their traits, etc. I had her create an animal group book in which she had to draw pictures of the animlas and details about each group. Boom! Science and Art combined. That's exactly what we did with Social Studies last week.
The middle mini has been obsessed with the song We Didn't Start The Fire and had sooooo many questions about the lyrics. I wrote a few weeks ago about how the project would go for the minis (read about that here). Tonight, we finally recorded their lyrics for 1990 - today. Judging by their inability to keep to the beat of the music, we may need to spend a bit more time in music class, but their lyrics are (in my opinion) spot on.
